I don't remember what HDD was in my XT back in 1987, but my first 386 had an 80MB drive. I used to go through every folder and delete all the optional files (read me etc) to make enough extra space to install another game. Paid $1700 to take that 386 SX/25 with an 80MB HDD to a 486 DX/33 with a 255MB drive. I filled that 255MB in mere moments. Went to a 3.2GB in 1998. Then a 15GB around 2000. I think my first 80GB was in 2002. Bought another the next year. Then got a 200GB around 2004 and added a 500GB about two years ago. Currently using the 200 and 500 drives. I think 80GB was when I finally stopped stressing over disk space. I could finally install all the programs and games I wanted.
